Tula Pink City Sampler Quilt Top Complete!

The top is assembled! With all the beautiful Tula City Sampler blocks appearing on Instagram daily, I decided it was time to woman-up and assemble MY beautiful blocks into a quilt top. In case you want to see each one, here are the previous blog posts starting in February 2014 (!!):

Yes, it really was time to move this project forward! I fell in love with Tula's fabric making these blocks. Selecting the right setting was critical and I decided to go with one right from the book. It was very slow going with lots of pieces and pinning but I couldn't be happier.

It was a lovely autumn day for quilt photographs.

I played with the block placement for a very long time! The blocks lived on my design wall for months. As noted in the blog posts, I built the blocks without a specific color plan in mind. Each block was lovingly constructed as I allowed her artwork to inspire the fabric choices. This meant a layout with a defined color scheme was not going to happen.

Next I have to baste this very large quilt! Then onto quilting! Just think how many pictures will be in the post when I finish this quilt! Apologies in advance!

Kathy! This is fabulous!!! The picture where a smidge of the hammock shows - it's like the trees changed colors *just* to give you the perfect backdrop. ahhhh I look forward to the finish and all those pictures :-)Enjoy your gorgeous Fall ~ Tracy

This turned out amazing! I love the setting even if it was a pain. It's going to be amazing once it's finished. P.S. I would have done anything to sit in that hammock on the water looking at your quilt all day :)
